   What? The headline does not match the article content at all. There was no reduced latency. The article title should be something along the line of: "Bad architecture resulted in a hard-to-troubleshoot bug"

   Of course they do. Theres no other reason for them to collect all the data they do otherwise. With the being said. Firefix does make it pretty easy (but not obvious, requires some tedious edits in about:config) to disable most of their spyw

    Yes, mosh is great. Except, neither RHEL nor SLES include it in the base repo. This means getting it approved and installed on servers in most enterprises is never ever going to happen. Thus, mosh is dead to me (a poor sysadmin who lives un
